Do you tip chefs in Australia?
Australia has a higher minimum wage than most countries, which means tipping is not as socially mandatory as it is in the US. That said, it is appreciated, and the culture around tipping has grown significantly in the last decade. Kitchen staff are almost never included in any tip distribution even when tips are given.
